Why not PVL? or similar?

Have you tried it with no Muffler or air-filter?

Try disconnecting the kill switch, may have a dodgy connection, not earthed properly etc

Recently purchased a cr250 1989 "race ready" was also weak at high RPM. Changed the muffler and put back to std jetting was a bit rich. Goes really well now.
Once your bike is warmed up does it still blow heaps of smoke mid range?

I had a similar problem for a long time, and it was the HT coil, there was a "bad batch" of aftermarket ones floating around, I had two of them before the importer fessed up........

Thanks All,

Have tried the following,
The bike is running a 34 mm Dellorto have put in standard new main jet , pilot jet , needle , needle and seat. No change.
Run the  bike with the petrol tank cap off seems to have plenty of fuel, no change.
Have taken off the muffler and run , no change.
Have taken out the air filter and run , did make it run worse ?
Have varied the timing,  advanced and retarded , backfired a bit when advanced?
Have tried a colder plug a 9, no change.
Still starts first kick and idle fine till mid-throttle?
The stator has been rewound and looks a bit dodgy?

Yet again any help would be much appreciated

Chris.

Any chance of posting a pic of the plug?
to me it sounds like an air leak . specially seeing as allowing more air by removing the filter makes it run worse.

Hi Chris, Mid throttle,
Fuel maybe??
Mid throttle = needle jet

Have you completely stripped the carb to make sure?
Removed the emulsion tube?
100% sure that the air draft passage from the bottom of the air horn to the emulsion tube is clear?

Worth verifying, good luck.

I don't know if anyones asked but was the onset of the issue sudden or progressive? Sudden would point towards electrics (the Bosch CDI's weren't startling). The stators were generally OK. Multimeter checks won't always show up a fault. Send the lot off to be checked dynamically by a professional -  including the kill button -  it'll be cheaper than shotgun solutions to imagined repairs. Particularly if someones already monstered the electrics.
 Progressive deterioration leads down a whole different fault tree analysis.
